Artificial Intelligence: Understanding its Magic, Protecting against Reality

The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the world of technology and beyond cannot be overstated. The unbelievable capability and power behind this marvel of computing innovation has opened the doors to vast opportunities for learning, development, curiosity, and more.

The advancement of AI, especially deep learning, involves training machines with vast amounts of data to interpret and learn valuable patterns. This leads to the development of more precise tools for diagnosis and prediction. However, the obscure nature of AI algorithms, often referred to as the "black box," raises significant concerns about the reliability and trustworthiness of the technology. Without understanding how the algorithms function and what factors impact their outcomes, important questions about their credibility and security emerge.

In this webinar with special guest Dr. Surya Nepal from Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s (CSIRO) Data61, we’ll look at:
  • Advancements in AI – from early stages to latest developments – and Dr. Nepal’s contributions to the domain
  • Intricacies of AI – understanding the technology through the lens of an industry visionary
  • Consumption of AI – why security-minded stakeholders must be acutely aware of the associated risks
